NEW DELHI — A low-pressure system over the southeast Bay of Bengal is expected to strengthen and may develop into a cyclonic storm over the central Bay of Bengal by the evening of November 16, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
The system is expected to become a well-marked low-pressure area on November 14 and intensify into a depression over the same region by the morning of November 15.
It is then likely to move north-westwards before developing further into a cyclonic storm. The associated cyclonic circulation currently extends up to 5.8 kilometres above mean sea level.
The IMD has forecast widespread rain and thunderstorms over parts of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, with isolated heavy rainfall. Local Cautionary Signal No. 3 is also expected to remain in force at Sri Vijaya Puram port.
The weather system has not yet developed into a cyclone. Its movement and intensity will be monitored through further observations and official weather bulletins.
The IMD's Thiruvananthapuram centre has not issued any special weather warning for Kerala for November 14 to 20. Fishermen and coastal communities have been advised to follow official weather updates.
